Following on from my previous post I hope you enjoy a few interior shots of this beautiful Cathedral.
The shot of the the Coronation Robe was made from pampas and lagurus grass with gilded ruscus, helichrsum and ferns. It took over 300 hours to make and resembles the one worn by HM The Queen after she was crowned.

Salisbury Cathedral is home to the best preserved of only four surviving Magna Carta documents from 1215.
The other documents are held in The British Library and Lincoln Castle.
